The Crypt Jazz Restaurant

Cape Town

The birth of The Crypt Jazz Restaurant is the realisation of a dream shared by six people, all of whose love of jazz and good food drove them to open a jazz club in Cape Town. The team is led by entrepreneur Derk Blaisse, along with jazz musicians Mike Rossi, double bass player Wesley Rustin and bassist Spencer Mbadu, as well as Diane Rossi, who brings with her extensive experience in arts and culture administration, both in South Africa and the United States.

Their dream is shared by the Dean of the St George's Cathedral, Michael Weeder, a jazz enthusiast himself, who has a vision for Cape Town's Cathedral as the ‘people's church' reaching out to diverse communities through The Crypt - and the universal language of jazz music.
